Front Grille Emblem

OK...I have searched and I can't find what I'm looking for.

Is there a replacement grille with the RX-8 emblem on it, or is there an attaching emblem or is it a black license plate, I can't tell. I've seen some pictures and I like the look of the large "RX-8" on the front...what can I do to get it?

It is just the rear RX-8 Emblem of the car. You can buy them at rosenthal or mazdaparts, both vendors here.

The mazda emblem has a post, so there are holes behind it.

I think he's talking about the black license plate with RX-8 written on it, in white. Alot of Japanese advertisements have something similar to this with the car's name on it.

i've actually seen what you're talking about searching pix throughout the web. the one i saw it on was a blue 8 parked next to a blue Honda s2k. i think it may have been here on this forum where i've seen that pic

I've seen the large "RX-8" on the license plate you are referring to but only in advirtisements. I don't know if anybody sells it. It would be easy enough to make one yourself and place it behind a plastic covered license plate holder.

no. that's just the license plate frame with "rx-8" on the plates. what i've seen is actually a billite grille like mine, but the grilles are a little bit thicker and spread out furhter apart. in the middle it has "rx-8".

well actually......now that i'm paying attention...... brothervoodoo, it's actually the same as the pic in your sig right now. so i guess there you have it??? is that what you're looking for Torchmonkey?

Why not mimic the Mazda Kabura grill, which I think is awesome as long as you also copy the headlight/foglight design.

true. the best way to hide that spot though is by getting an emblem or a front grille.

somebody here on the forums said that my car has "braces" lol.
